My brain has always been aware
That you may take sudden leave
This grey mist is perilous
Slipping would cause only grief

My soul is not lonely
Though it is burning today
Aqua sea foam shame
It whispers "it's OK my lovely, it's OK "

My bones can feel it in them
I will carry this light till my close
I'll linger in memory's regardless
In this bittersweet afterglow

My heart ....
It's a paragraph I'll miss for today
To sad to look in on
To deep to swim away

My being can take and accept this
If your cutting the line
Or just retreating from the fight
Its OK my lovely, it'll be alright
Nicked a bit of Cobain again
Tell me a lie
Just for a while
It’s nice to pretend
When the world is so scary
Since it’s nice to know
that I’m not the only one
Alone
In my heart is a burning desire
to give you love that is as breathtakingly fierce as a wildfire
but is as tenderly calming as a soft rain—
the kind that kisses away pain.
Yet if I cannot take your pain away,
still, let me stay.
Share it with me,
even if I, too, must bear it for eternity.
I will adore you in your every color, every hue—
yellow, red, green, blue.
To you, I am deeply and utterly devoted,
my only, always, and beloved.
Seven Minutes before you die,
You'll be flashed with the best memories of your life.
Seven Minutes before you leave,
You will hold on to them but not grieve.

Live for memories, for yourself.
And may life give you rest.
I see that table sometimes at night, when
My dreams stretch colorful and bright
That table is lit up by the softest glow,
With smiles and laughter evermore

On that table, there’s a seat,
Saved especially for me. It’s comfortable
And blue, exactly how I like it, and I feel
This deep and lingering warmth as I sit

As I sit, I find I’m laughing, and around me
Everything is soft and warm - conversation
Flows unstoppered, and I bask
In its healing balm

I see that table sometimes, and I know
It’s waiting for my exact glow.
It feels so unreal
To see your skin unfurl
Into the person i used to date
It's too late to satiate
My need to nuture
Its time to mature
Men need the space
To learn to pace
Their grief and growth
To make the most
Of the time weve been given
Its time to be driven
Exciting
Colourful
Explosive
Wild and
Unpredictable

Some people go an eternity
without finding someone they truly love

The vibes were formidable
and feelings were considerable

Unreciprocated
But unconditional

The end
was inevitable
Words poised on my tongue,
courage blinks, then vanishes
silence takes its place.
In my sleepless dreams
I see you coming back

The dusk casts a
Shadow on your face
The setting sun
The rising moon
Banish the gap
Between us.
